Bodybuilding is a field that's often flooded with a lot of conflicting advice. While conflicting advice can sometimes have two right answers, very often the advice that's given is just plain wrong. We'll expose four of the most common muscle-building myths.
One common myth is that if you're skinny and want to gain muscle, you need to consume a lot of calories. Unfortunately, this is more likely to get you fat than get you built. Yes, if you want to gain muscle mass you do need to eat a few more calories than you're burning. But you don't need to consume 2,000 more calories than you've been eating in the past. Eat more food, but don't stuff your body with calories. It's not healthy and won't help get you where you want to go.
